Investigating women's chest size, trunk muscle co-contraction and back pain during prolonged standing.

CONCLUSIONS: Thoracolumbar co-contraction determined in this study may be a potential mechanism contributing to increased back pain development for women with large chest sizes during prolonged standing. This pain mechanism could be targeted and addressed in future non-invasive musculoskeletal rehabilitation to improve back pain for women. PMID: 33459697 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
